"Now I know that you recieve from the world what you give to the world. I understand it from physics as the third law of motion: For every action, there's an equal and opposite reation. It is the essence of what Eastern philosophers call karma. In "The Color Purple", the character Celie explained it to Mister: "Everything you try to do to me, already done to you." Your actions revolve around you as surely as the earth revolves around the sun. The more conscious I became of this, the more quickly my actions came back. Today I try to do well and be well with everyone I reach or encounter. I make sure to use my life for that whcih can be of good wil. Yes, this has brought me great wealth. More important, it has fortified me spiritually and emotionally. When people say they are looking for happiness, I ask, "What are you giving to the world?" I'll never forget this couple who appreared on my show. The wife couldn't understand why their relationship had broken down. She kept syaing, "He used to make me so happy. He doesn't make me happy anymore." What she couldn't see was that she was the cause of her own effect. Happiness is never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you are able to give. If you think something is missing in your lifeor you're not getting what you deserve, remember that there's no Yellow Brick Road. You lead life; it doesn't lead you." ....An excerpt from O magazine
